Female athletes enter the water during the Aquece Rio Triathlon Olympic Qualifier on Copacabana beach ahead of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on August 2, 2015 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A recent pollution reading deemed the waters off Copacabana 'unfit' for swimming. The Rio government promised to clean 80 percent of pollution and waste from the nearby Guanabara Bay in time for the games but admits that goal now is unlikely to be reached. August 5 marks the one-year mark to the start of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
